Technical notes

The EPC 50 controller board manages the separator's automatic discharge cycle, timing the bowl openings that eject accumulated solids, and it interfaces with the engine-room monitoring system. A replacement board must have its firmware configured to match the installed communication protocol, typically MODBUS or PROFIBUS, and the separation parameters for the oil grade being processed. Confirm the separator model and the existing protocol before ordering, because an unconfigured board will not integrate with the control room. Reconditioned boards are available where new stock lead time is long; verify firmware revision on receipt.

Compliance

Control component outside MED/USCG scope; must be configured to the engine-room protocol before commissioning.
